 The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn sighed, his temper fading away. Great. Not again. He'd made another stupid move and made her cry. He caught up to her easily, putting an arm around her shoulders. "I'm sorry, alright? I didn't mean to make you cry." He said softly, his hand absentmindedly massaging her shoulder where it rested. "You just scared me. I didn't mean to lose my temper like that." He couldn't believe he was such a dumbass. He was supposed to be making things better, not worse.  The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... "You're not stupid." Raevyn corrected her gently. "You just don't think sometimes. There's a difference. Stupid is deliberately walking in front of a car. Not thinking is just walking out without looking." He hugged her lightly with the arm already over her shoulder. The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn rapped her head lightly with his knuckles. "Well save it for somewhere more safe for thinking, like the bed or the couch." He said playfully. He continued to walk with one arm over her shoulders, perfectly relaxed with the pose. Unless Ashriel objected, he didn't see any reason to move. This way, he could keep her from walking into traffic. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Still she was tempted to ask him that question? Should she? She opened her mouth as if to speak, only to close it again. No, she'd better not - he wouldn't think of her the same way, she was sure of it. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn, oblivious to the question hovering in Ashriel's mind, ed them to Sanctuary. Once there, he pulled away from her, ducking behind the counter. He slipped on an apron, tossing one to Ashriel. "Here comes the fun part." He said with a grin, seeing a group entering the building just behind the pair. The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Once more, the night seemed to fly by in a rush. Mama stopped them earlier than last time though, letting them leave at midnight. The main rush was over by that point and she knew they had school the next day. "Shoo! Go home and sleep!" She told them, bustling the pair out the door. Raevyn just laughed and waved goodbye, walking down the street. He stretched and yawned. "Well, that was fun." The tiger that should be....isn't....

She asked him, her eyes having difficulty adjusting to the dark. She was walking just barely ahead of him although she still couldn't see a thing. Quietly, she made a turn down an alley way. This was the right one, right? Hey, why were there people... [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... "Just after midnight." Raevyn told her, laughing at her confusion. His laughter died as soon as he saw the people in the alley. A hiss bubbled up, turning into a low snarl as he instantly moved in front of Ashriel. The people in the alley stopped at the hiss, then smirked. One, clearly the leader, stepped forwards. "Oh look. Little kitty is still alive. Guess that just means more fun for us. And he brought another toy, just for us!" He said with a bark of laughter, the others joining in. From the looks they gave Ashriel, they weren't planning anything pleasant for her. Raevyn snarled again, telling Ashriel, "Get going! Now!" He settled in a defensive stance in front of her, glaring at the other males. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Her eyes watched them, their speech making her realize almost instantly who they were. When they mentioned her, she felt a shiver run down her spine. She wanted to run - but not without Raevyn. He couldn't get hurt because of her, he just couldn't. His order wasn't one she was about to follow, even if it was for her own good. Or maybe she was just too frightened to run. It wasn't like she was fast or anything. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak. [ I ] { A } m that quietly loud person that seems to be able to be both at the same time.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn snarled and muttered a curse. It was soon obvious the reason for his cursing. They were only seeing half the pack. The other half stepped from the shadows, already in their wolf form. He cursed again, realizing Ashriel wasn't moving. He hadn't wanted her to see this, but he had no choice now. He wasn't going to let them get to her. "Ready for round two kitty?" The leader asked with a malicious grin. "No car for you to hit here. Just you and us. And our soon to be playtoy." He glanced at Ashriel.
Raevyn took advantage of his momentary distraction, leaping at him. He shifted as he did so, but instead of a small black housecat, he became a large black jaguar, dark spots gleaming on an even darker pelt. He roared, slashing out at the wolf pack that surrounded him. He fought viciously, ignoring the few wounds he managed to accumulate. The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... The sound of yelping and snarling echoed from the alley, following Ashriel as she felt. Some part of Raevyn noted her absence and was glad for it. Most of his attention though, was locked on the fight. Once he was sure Ashriel was gone far enough, he took off running in the opposite direction. Most of the wolves, all in their true form now, followed him. Only the most injured didn't, staying to lick their wounds.
Sanctuary was still bustling with business, but it was clear it was just the last of the night customers coming in. Everyone seemed to be talking and laughing, enjoying themselves. Mama bustled around, serving the tables with a smile. The tiger that should be....isn't....
